BUPHDII HEADQUARIPEB. Allied Expeditionary Force, June 12 - (A P - Prime Minister Churchill visited the beachhead in France today,

w -

as by Held Marshal Jan hristiaap Smutl. Prime Minister OKABfQ-lthd Africa. h Bl quarters spokesman w o disclosed the visit said that Gen. 510039, chief of the Imperial Gen- eral Staff, accompanied the two Prime Ministers. "

0n his visit today Mr. Churchill followed liberating armies. You years ego he made a dramatic flight to o France collapsing under the blows of a. victorious German army to plead vainly with French leaders to carry on the fight.

Common citizenship with Britons was offered - and re ected —- at that time to the Franc by the Prime Minister, newly called in the helm in Britain's darkest hour to guide the Empire event "y to within sight of victory.

Mr. Churchill and his companions crossed the Channel today on the destroyer H. M. S. Kelvin. While they were aboard the ship Joined ln mbarding a. German position on the northeastern Normandy flank.

Three Hours Ashore

Arriving on the beaches shortly before noon. they s ent three hours ashore; lunchsd th Gen. Mont- gomery, commander in chief of Al-

ed ground forces in France; vis- ited srmy head uarters; watched troops and supp. es land and then steamed throug the battle le which was bombarding the shore.

During the day the Prime Min- ister witnessed an aerial dogfight and saw a German raider shot down.

In vlsltinz the beachhead. the persistent Churchill had his own way. Admiral Ramsay, naval com- mander in chicf, disclosed last week that the Prime Minister had wan- ted to go along on D-Day, and "it took a great deal of persuasion" to leave him behind.

Mr. Churchill has made several visits to the various theatres of war but today: visit to the front lines was the most dramatic.

Blimey! It's Churchill

At exactly 12:30 P. M. a grey- green "duck" (amphibious craft) slowly climbed up the yellow sands of the Normandy beach and out stepped the Prime Minister. Soldiers busily engaged in un- leading craft stood in amazement. Then they recognized the familiar Trinity House cap. the cigar and the two fingers raised in a V sign

“Blimeyl It's Churchill himself!" one private called to another. The news spread quickly and those men who were not actively engaged in unloading craft rushed towards the “duck " some stood at attention and saluted. others just waved and clapped their hands. General Montgomery was on the beach to meet the Prime Minister and the two Allied invasion "chiefs" shook hands warmly

Field Marshal Smuts smiled cheerfully and swung round his camera as the party clambered into waiting Jeeps and drove to Montgomery's headquarters
